Comparison Of The T Vs. Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test For Likert Scale Data And Small Samples, Gary E. Meek, Ceyhun Ozgur, Kenneth Dunning
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The one sample t-test is compared with the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test for identical data sets representing various Likert scales. An empirical approach is used with simulated data. Comparisons are based on observed error rates for 27,850 data sets. Recommendations are provided.

Jmasm 26: Hettmansperger And Mckean Linear Model Aligned Rank Test For The Single Covariate And One-Way Ancova Case (Sas), Paul A. Nakonezny, Robert D. Shull
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A SAS program (SAS 9.1.3 release, SAS Institute, Cary, N.C.) is presented to implement the Hettmansperger and McKean (1983) linear model aligned rank test (nonparametric ANCOVA) for the single covariate and one-way ANCOVA case. As part of this program, SAS code is also provided to derive the residuals from the regression of Y on X (which is step 1 in the Hettmansperger and McKean procedure) using either ordinary least squares regression (proc reg in SAS) or robust regression with MM estimation (proc robustreg in SAS).
